The Housefactors – Play It Loud [BM010]

Cover art - The Housefactors: Play It Loud

Official re-issue of Larry Heard’s The Housefactors project! Another one of his classics!. Raw and relentless tracks that went so far from any electronic dance music from that period that, to date, is still recognized as Larry Heard’s Signature sound. With his Mr Finger’s and Fingers inc. projects going towards club use, this and his Gherkin Jerks showed another side of him… probably a darker side, but for sure a more raw and different side with music that most likely was transmitted to him from another planet. Many producers have been inspired by his sound, and tried to create their own defenition of house music, but still to date Gherkin Jerks and The Housefactors are some of the most unique projects in House music history. Play It Loud originally came out in 1988 (!) on Black Market records. And how cool is it to see an official re-issue on the original label by the original guys who did this almost 25 years ago!. Eternal respect to Larry Heard and a big thanks to Black Market records for making this important record available again.

SAN PROPER/AROY DEE - Perfume

Aroy Dee and San Proper craft a beautiful four track EP entitled “Perfume” for M>O>S. An EP of more mind-melting or heart warming house sounds you are unlikely to hear because Aroy Dee and his MOS are the true masters of future facing, retro-referencing house music.

Tevo Howard – At All Pursuits [TTHR-DR010]

This album features 7 long form dance tracks, and is as Tevo Howard’s second album to date. The tracks included are to be looked at as sound compositions both as a whole and as their individual parts. In sound design, these tracks are sculpted for the dancer while focusing on metaphoric juxtapositions between the actual text titles of the tracks and their individual sound designs.

Credit 00 – The Living Room Life EP [UV008]

Uncanny Valley introduce the solo EP by Credit 00. The Dresden resident delivers four ice cold Chicago inspired cuts, with hints of acid and electro, straight out of his machines which will make every synth aficionado’s mouth water. “Another Me” is, by Credits standards, an almost intimate jam, which shows that House can be a decent funky affair. In “The Cave Problem” you’ll get an extensive bassline before synths that seem to come directly out of a hurdy-gurdy from hell add the right dose of gloom. The B-Side is started off with “The Living Room”, a hard rocking track that comes like an acoustic exploration of sophisticated sound and drum ideas. The final “Brio’s Theme” is a weird and slightly menacing sci-fi work that only needs a proper movie.
